I am 5'10" with really (35" inseam) long legs. I could never keep beat with Cathe during burpees.I am always 1 rep behind Cathe & her crew on each set of burpees (3 sets, 5 reps per set) in X10 Cardio Blast?
One explanation I can come up with is: I believe I am a lot taller and it takes time for me to get back up.
Or, my explosive strength and endurance needs improvement.
This is not a deal breaker for this workout. I enjoy the heart-pumping cardio. I am just curious as to what other Catheletes experience.
What works for me is putting my hands on the mini topper (with or without an additional riser depending on the speed of the burpees). I feel that it equalizes my extra long legs and that using the topper doesn't lessen the cardio affect of the exercise.
This works great for Spiderman climbers too.

Andrew Huberman’s most recent podcast highlights the benefits of skipping, which made me want to pull out Cardio Kicks for that one little ( but fun) sequence where she does that. For now, I stick with Afterburn when I want to up the intensity, as I find it easier to control with the way it’s sequenced

Just do what your body lets you do. We all have our own "speeds"! Good job for even attempting to do it. I hate Burpees and cannot keep up with her and team at all. But, I try!
I think you'll find that everyone has a different frequency for burpees simply due to height differences, no matter one's fitness level. I find that keeping up with Cathe and her crew has helped me be quicker but my height and long legs make it a challenge. If you talk spin, though, my legs don't rotate like theirs at all! I get a really good workout but I can't stand the way they do nor spin as fast when they are in super fast mode.
